It is an excellent review of a pertinent segment of recent history from a current perspective of American politics involving
Donald Trump whose speeches I've listened to a few times.
It is concerning to say the least to watch what's happening in America and in Korea.
God only knows what will happen if there is a match between Donald Trump and Kim, Jong Un.
I hate to think of that possibility.

민중은 처음에 "우매"로 시작해서 곧 "비겁"하게 되지요.
자신의 생명줄울 건지기위해서 시키는대로 복종하는것입니다.
이 민중울 탓할수는 없는거지요.
따라서 강력한 독재자밑에서 벋어나기 힘들게 됩니다.
Hey, all of us will be the same under such circumstance.

미국의 Gun Control에 대한 반대가 여기에 있는것이 아닌지요. (본인은 Gun Control을 원하지만)
Gun의 소유는 (서부영화 식으로), 우매한 짓이 생긴후 비겁할 필요가 없게되는 장점이 있다고 봅니다.
부정치하의 독재자에게 반란의 도구를 주니까요.

문제는 결국 민중울위해서 일할수있는 정직한 정치가입니다.
Donald Trump는 자기의 이익추구에 정신이 없을것 같습니다.
물론 우매한 민중이 그를 따를것이지만 분명히 실망의 길이겠지요.

Hilary or Bernie도 역시 비슷하겠지만 "Less bad is better." ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.

Nobody is trustworthy but what else choice do we have?
We just have to trust one of them and hope for the best.

I am glad that you mentioned very similar stories.

"The bitter sea" is the life story of Charles N. Lee written by him. He was born in 1930's in China and left the country in 1960's. He lives in Ca. He is Dr. Lin's Unlce. Dr. Lin is an ophthalmologist that I work with very often. It walks through history of very difficult years of China vividly.
"Trash War" is the story of Chinese soldier who fought in Korean war and was captured by UN ( American)forces. It tells you about
dirty secrets of American intelligence work in military prison in 거제도. It is written by Ha Jin and about himself. He learned English in China and served military as a translator, but his novels are written English.
I thank both of you for your interest in my posting.
